cost is the driving concern to recycle atm. I am working toward RDWC. hopefully next round I will have it set up. just happened upon a couple of hydrofarm rainforest setups that will be the veg staging area for the RDWC.Never recirculated but I wouldn't really want to. If you're wanting to recirculate, just go traditional hydro. Coco is a soil-less medium, meaning it is not hydro. Treat it accordingly, imo. I just think recirculating with coco as your medium would be a total pita and wouldn't reap much benefit. If you're concerned about waste, feed low ppm's and very little run off. Flush occasionally with 1/4 strength solution to flush out any salt build up and resume normal feeding. Just my .02.

my plan is to convert a grow flow ebb expansion pack consisting of 6 square 7 gal buckets with net pots into the RDWC grow sites. Rubbermaid tub from wally mart for reservoir, float valve, gromets, fill/drain caps, hosing,submersible pump, air pump, stones, and lines I get pretty cheap at work, most expensive part is still the 1/4hp res chiller even with 35% off msrp, and bluelab guardian is an arm and a leg after discount too. total msrp of current culture equivalent and chiller is around $1,600.Build your own. For that much I got a 24 bucket rdwc system that runs dwc, rdwc, uc or plain Ole ebb. For much cheaper. Go 5 gallon green buckets with net pots. Twin 1.5 inch drains with 1.5 inch barbed sprinker fittings at hd and grommets on ebay. There is nothing magical about bought systems except if you don't know anything, the one time u should buy. Save money for upgrades, chillers or the killer, electricity. Producing great buds is awesome, producing great buds for dirt cheap is always better.
View attachment 733999 Hey guys, just thought I would weigh in on recirculated grow I've done a few with great success and quite easy too. I've recently started another recirculated grow and it's looking great so far, I'm using coco coir as my medium in 11ltr pots in Wilma systems with 2x 600w hps duel spec bulbs they are 2 weeks old today I'll add some pics to see what you guys think
